[0033] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0034] The following disclosure provides numerous different embodiments or examples for implementing various structures of the present invention. To simplify the disclosure, specific examples of components and arrangements are described below. These are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Furthermore, reference numerals and / or letters may be repeated in different examples. Such repetition is for simplification and clarity and does not in itself indicate a relationship between the various embodiments and / or arrangements discussed. In addition, examples of various specific processes and materials are provided in this invention; however, those skilled in the art will recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.

[0035] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, an air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes: a fan assembly 1 and a fresh air component 2. The fan assembly 1 includes a cross-flow impeller 11, the axial direction of which is a first direction F1. The fresh air component 2 and the fan assembly 1 are arranged sequentially along the first direction F1. The fresh air component 2 includes a first housing 21, which is an integrated structure and defines an air duct cavity 213 and an electrical control cavity 214 that are spaced apart. The electrical control cavity 214 is provided with a circuit board 26.

[0037] As a result, the fresh air component 2 can have both fresh air function and electronic control function, achieving integrated layout, which is conducive to making full use of the space inside the air conditioner 100 and reducing the overall size of the air conditioner 100.

[0038] First, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the air conditioner 100 includes a fan assembly 1 and a fresh air component 2. The fan assembly 1 includes a cross-flow fan 11, the axis of which is in a first direction F1, and the cross-flow fan 11 is used to direct airflow outward when rotating.

[0039] The fresh air component 2 and the fan assembly 1 are arranged sequentially along the first direction F1. The fresh air component 2 includes a first housing 21, which is an integrated structure. The first housing 21 defines an air duct cavity 213 and an electrical control cavity 214, which are spaced apart. It should be noted that "integrated" means that it cannot be separated and is fixed as one piece. The first housing 21 can be integrally formed or it can be formed from multiple parts and then connected into one piece by welding or bonding.

[0040] The electrical control cavity 214 is equipped with a circuit board 26, which is electrically connected to related components (such as the drive motor 12 and the fresh air fan described below) to control the air conditioner 100 so that the fresh air component 2 can realize the electrical control function; at the same time, the air duct cavity 213 can be connected to the outdoor space to circulate fresh air so that the fresh air component 2 can realize the fresh air function.

[0041] The above setup enables integrated layout, making full use of the space inside the air conditioner 100, achieving miniaturized design of the air conditioner 100, and shortening the distance between the circuit board 26 and related components, which helps to shorten connecting wires, reduce costs, and improve assembly efficiency.

[0042] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the air conditioner 100 has an air duct cavity 213 and an electrical control cavity 214 in the first housing 21. The electrical control cavity 214 is used to install the circuit board 26, and the air duct cavity 213 is used to circulate fresh air. This allows the fresh air component 2 to have both fresh air function and electrical control function, realizing integrated arrangement, which is conducive to making full use of the space inside the air conditioner 100 and reducing the overall size of the air conditioner 100.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the fan assembly 1 includes a drive motor 12 for driving the cross-flow fan wheel 11 to rotate, and the drive motor 12 is located at one end of the cross-flow fan wheel 11 in the first direction F1 near the fresh air component 2. The first housing 21 defines an empty space 215, and at least a portion of the drive motor 12 is located in the empty space 215.

[0044] For example, refer to Figure 2-Figure 4 As shown, the fan assembly 1 includes a drive motor 12, which is located at the end of the cross-flow fan 11 in the first direction F1 near the fresh air component 2. The drive motor 12 is poweredly connected to the cross-flow fan 11 so that it can drive the cross-flow fan 11 to rotate. The first housing 21 defines a clearance space 215 corresponding to the drive motor 12, and at least a portion of the drive motor 12 is located within the clearance space 215, allowing the first housing 21 to avoid the drive motor 12. This allows for full utilization of the space within the air conditioner 100, facilitating a miniaturized design of the air conditioner 100.

[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5As shown, the first housing 21 includes a duct housing portion 211 and an electrical control box portion 212. The duct housing portion 211 defines an air duct cavity 213, and the electrical control box portion 212 defines an electrical control cavity 214. The electrical control box portion 212 may be configured to protrude from the duct housing portion 211 in the direction toward the fan assembly 1. The electrical control box portion 212 and the duct housing portion 211 together define a clearance space 215. The clearance space 215 is located on the side of the duct housing portion 211 facing the fan assembly 1 and is used to accommodate at least a portion of the drive motor 12. This allows for a more compact layout of the air conditioner 100.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, the air conditioner 100 is a wall-mounted air conditioner, and the first direction F1 is the left-right direction. The electrical control box 212 includes an upper box 2121 connected to the top of the air duct shell 211, and a front box 2122 connected to the front side of the air duct shell 211. The clearance space 215 is defined on the side of the air duct shell 211 facing the fan assembly 1 and located below the upper box 2121 and behind the front box 2122. The electrical control cavity 214 includes a first sub-cavity 2141 defined by the upper box 2121 and a second sub-cavity 2142 defined by the front box 2122. The circuit board 26 includes a high-voltage board 261 disposed in one of the first sub-cavity 2141 and the second sub-cavity 2142, and a low-voltage board 262 disposed in the other of the first sub-cavity 2141 and the second sub-cavity 2142.

[0047] For example, refer to Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the air conditioner 100 is configured as a wall-mounted air conditioner, and the first direction F1 is set to... Figure 1 The left and right directions are shown. The electrical control box 212 includes an upper box 2121 and a front box 2122. The upper box 2121 is connected to the top of the air duct shell 211, and the front box 2122 is connected to the front side of the air duct shell 211. The side of the air duct shell 211 facing the fan assembly 1, the lower side of the upper box 2121, and the rear side of the front box 2122 together define a clearance space 215.

[0048] The electronic control cavity 214 includes a first sub-cavity 2141 and a second sub-cavity 2142. The first sub-cavity 2141, which is open at the front, is defined by the upper box portion 2121, and the second sub-cavity 2142, which is open at the front, is defined by the front box portion 2122. The circuit board 26 includes a high-voltage board 261 and a low-voltage board 262. The high-voltage board 261 is disposed in one of the first sub-cavity 2141 and the second sub-cavity 2142, and the low-voltage board 262 is disposed in the other of the first sub-cavity 2141 and the second sub-cavity 2142. Exemplarily, the high-voltage board 261 can be disposed in the first sub-cavity 2141, and the low-voltage board 262 can be disposed in the second sub-cavity 2142; or, the low-voltage board 262 can be disposed in the first sub-cavity 2141, and the high-voltage board 261 can be disposed in the second sub-cavity 2142. This utility model does not limit this.

[0049] The above settings can maintain a sufficient distance between the high-voltage board 261 and the low-voltage board 262, which is conducive to the separation of high and low voltage circuits and improves the safety of the air conditioner 100.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the first housing 21 includes a common plate 217, which separates the air duct cavity 213 and the electrical control cavity 214. The common plate 217 can define both the wall of the air duct housing 211 and the wall of the electrical control box 212. This allows for a more compact layout, miniaturized design, and cost savings.

[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the bottom wall of the upper box portion 2121 and the top wall of the air duct shell portion 211 can share the same plate. This allows for a more compact layout, facilitates miniaturization, and saves on material costs.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the rear wall of the front box portion 2122 and the front wall of the air duct shell portion 211 can share the same plate. This allows for a more compact layout, facilitates miniaturization, and saves on material costs.

[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, both the upper box portion 2121 and the front box portion 2122 can be configured as flat boxes with a length greater than their width and a width greater than their thickness. Specifically, the length direction of the upper box portion 2121 can be configured as the front-to-back direction, the width direction as the up-down direction, and the thickness direction as the left-to-right direction; similarly, the length direction of the front box portion 2122 can be configured as the up-to-down direction, the width direction as the left-to-right direction, and the thickness direction as the front-to-back direction.

[0054] With the above settings, the size of the open space 215 can be larger, which is conducive to better accommodating the drive motor 12, and the size of the fresh air component 2 in the left and right directions can be smaller, which is conducive to reducing the overall size of the air conditioner 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of this utility model, wire-passing holes 216 are formed on the front side wall of the upper box portion 2121 and the front side wall of the front portion 2122. Connecting wires are passed through the wire-passing holes 216 and are used to electrically connect the high-voltage board 261 and the low-voltage board 262 to relevant components. It is understood that by placing the wire-passing holes 216 at the front end of the electrical control box portion 212, the arrangement of connecting wires can be made more convenient, thus reducing the assembly difficulty of the air conditioner 100.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 As shown, the fresh air component 2 also includes a cover 27, which is located on the front side of the first housing 21 and is used to cover the front end of the first sub-cavity 2141 and the front end of the second sub-cavity 2142. This design simplifies the structure of the fresh air component 2 and allows the first sub-cavity 2141 and the second sub-cavity 2142 to be opened and closed simultaneously with a single action, thus reducing the assembly difficulty of the air conditioner 100.

[0057] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figures 3-5 As shown, the first housing 21 includes a duct housing 211 and an electrical control box 212. The duct housing 211 defines an air duct cavity 213, and the electrical control box 212 defines an electrical control cavity 214. A wire-passing hole 216 is formed on the side wall of the electrical control box 212. A connecting wire is passed through the wire-passing hole 216 to connect the circuit board 26 to related components (such as the drive motor 12, the fresh air motor, etc.). This standardizes the arrangement of the connecting wires and improves the design rationality of the air conditioner 100.

[0058] In some embodiments of this invention, the first housing 21 can be constructed as a single-piece molded part. This reduces the molding difficulty of the first housing 21, ensures its structural stability, and improves the overall performance of the air conditioner 100.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the first housing 21 includes a duct housing 211 and an electrical control box 212. The duct housing 211 defines a duct cavity 213, and the electrical control box 212 defines an electrical control cavity 214. Meanwhile, the air conditioner 100 also includes a fireproof sheet metal 3, which covers the electrical control box 212 and avoids the duct housing 211.

[0060] Understandably, when the circuit board 26 inside the electrical control cavity 214 catches fire, the fireproof sheet metal 3 can isolate the fire inside the electrical control cavity 214, thereby delaying or eliminating the spread of the fire and improving the safety of the air conditioner 100. In addition, by setting the fireproof sheet metal 3 to avoid the air duct shell 211, materials can be saved.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fresh air component 2 further includes a second housing 22 and a third housing 23. The second housing 22 is disposed on the side of the first housing 21 away from the fan assembly 1, and the third housing 23 is disposed on the side of the second housing 22 away from the first housing 21. An air inlet cavity 29 is formed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22. The air duct cavity 213 constitutes at least a part of the air inlet cavity 29. An air outlet cavity 28 is formed between the second housing 22 and the third housing 23. A vent 223 communicating between the air inlet cavity 29 and the air outlet cavity 28 is formed on the second housing 22. The fresh air component 2 includes a purification module disposed in the air inlet cavity 29 and a fresh air fan disposed in the air outlet cavity 28. At least one of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 has a fresh air inlet 224 communicating with the air inlet cavity 29.

[0062] For example, refer to Figures 3-5 As shown, the fresh air component 2 also includes a second housing 22 and a third housing 23. The second housing 22 is located on the side of the first housing 21 away from the fan assembly 1, and the third housing 23 is located on the side of the second housing 22 away from the first housing 21. An air inlet cavity 29 is formed between the first housing 21 and the second housing 22, and an air duct cavity 213 constitutes at least a portion of the air inlet cavity 29. An air outlet cavity 28 is formed between the second housing 22 and the third housing 23, and the air outlet cavity 28 communicates with the indoor space. A vent 223 is formed on the second housing 22, which connects the air inlet cavity 29 and the air outlet cavity 28.

[0063] Meanwhile, the fresh air component 2 includes a purification module and a fresh air fan. The purification module is located in the air inlet chamber 29, and the fresh air fan is located in the air outlet chamber 28. At least one of the first housing 21 and the second housing 22 has a fresh air inlet 224 for connecting the air inlet chamber 29 to the outdoor environment. Exemplarily, the fresh air inlet 224 may be formed on the second housing 22. Exemplarily, the air conditioner 100 may also include a fresh air duct connector 4 installed at the fresh air inlet 224 for connecting a fresh air duct to the outside environment.

[0064] It should be noted that the type of purification module (not shown in the figure) is not limited, such as HEPA filter, filter and other air purification components, and there are no restrictions here.

[0065] Specifically, when the air conditioner 100 switches to fresh air mode, it can drive the fresh air fan to operate, and the fresh air flow can flow into the air inlet cavity 29 from the fresh air inlet 224. The purification module filters and purifies the fresh air flow, and the purified fresh air flow can flow into the air outlet cavity 28 through the vent 223 and flow out of the air outlet cavity 28 into the indoor space.

[0066] The above settings make the overall structure of the fresh air component 2 more compact, which is conducive to the miniaturization of the air conditioner 100 and can avoid mutual interference between the fresh air fan and the drive motor 12, thus improving the operational stability of the air conditioner 100.

[0067] In some embodiments of this utility model, the first housing 21 includes an air duct housing 211 and an electrical control box 212. The air duct housing 211 defines an air duct cavity 213, and the electrical control box 212 defines an electrical control cavity 214. The air outlet cavity 28 includes an air outlet duct 281. The second housing 22 includes a first air outlet wall 221 that participates in defining the air outlet duct 281, and the third housing 23 includes a second air outlet wall 231 that participates in defining the air outlet duct 281. The first air outlet wall 221 and the electrical control box 214 are connected. At least a portion of the box portion 212 is disposed opposite to each other; wherein, a first silencing hole 222 is formed on the first air outlet wall 221, and the fresh air component 2 further includes a first silencing shell 24, which is sandwiched between the electrical control box portion 212 and the first air outlet wall 221; and / or, a second silencing hole 232 is formed on the second air outlet wall 231, and the fresh air component 2 further includes a second silencing shell 25, which covers the side of the second air outlet wall 231 away from the first air outlet wall 221.

[0068] For example, refer to Figures 3-5 As shown, the first housing 21 includes a duct housing portion 211 and an electrical control box portion 212. The duct housing portion 211 defines an air duct cavity 213, and the electrical control box portion 212 defines an electrical control cavity 214. The air outlet cavity 28 includes an air outlet duct 281, which is located above the second housing 22. The second housing 22 includes a first air outlet wall 221 and a second air outlet wall 231, which together define the air outlet duct 281. The air outlet duct 281 connects the air outlet cavity 28 to the indoor space. Simultaneously, as... Figure 3 As shown, the first air outlet wall 221 can be arranged opposite to at least a portion of the electrical control box 212 in the left-right direction to make fuller use of the space inside the air conditioner 100.

[0069] The first air outlet wall 221 may be provided with a first silencing hole 222, and there may be multiple first silencing holes 222, which are spaced apart. The fresh air component 2 also includes a first silencing shell 24, which is sandwiched between the electrical control box 212 and the first air outlet wall 221. A first silencing cavity is defined between the first silencing shell 24 and the first air outlet wall 221, and the air outlet duct 281 communicates with the first silencing cavity through the first silencing hole 222.

[0070] Meanwhile, a second silencing hole 232 can be formed on the second air outlet wall 231, and multiple second silencing holes 232 are spaced apart. The fresh air component 2 also includes a second silencing shell 25, which covers the side of the second air outlet wall 231 away from the first air outlet wall 221.
